Chapter 2; Looking To The Future

A/N; I couldn't wait to post another chapter so I got right to it! Please review!

Disclaimer – I do not own Twilight or any related character, just Nate and Naomi.

Edward's POV

I listened to the breathing of my new siblings as they slept while watching their dreams. They were a swirl of vibrant colours and I smiled as each of their minds filled with images of us, their new family. I wasn't paying attention to everyone else's thoughts which is why Alice's vision hit me like a freight train only seconds before there was an ear-piercing scream and the beautiful colours were gone. Nate was dreaming of pain and through his thoughts I could feel it; the hunger. Naomi was dreaming of darkness and loneliness. My new siblings were having nightmares! What kind of toddler has seen enough to make them have nightmares?! I got up and sprinted to their room, with Carlisle and Esme ahead of me and Jasper and Alice at me heels. When we reached the room they were already being held and comforted by their parents while Jasper began sending waves of calm and happiness into the room.

"They've been mistreated." I told them as everyone gasped in horror and disgust. I thought back over what I saw and I felt Jasper judging the emotions that I experienced through their dreams.

"What did you see Edward?" Carlisle looked at me waiting for my answer.

"It was more of a feeling. You didn't find any signs of abuse on them?"

"No, I mean they're a little small for their age."

I nodded. "Nate, he was dreaming of pain and hunger. They didn't feed him often enough, but just often enough for him to seem like he was a nourished child. Naomi… They left her in the darkness, she was dreaming of loneliness, of how it felt to be alone. They kept them separate, maybe if they slept in the same crib they'd comfort each other."

My family stood in silence, the only movement came from the gentle and constant rocking of Carlisle and Esme's bodies as they tried to soothe the twins. Though they didn't speak I could hear the outrage in their minds, their anger so concentrated that they couldn't form coherent words. Jasper was overwhelmed with the amount of protective and angry feelings in the room. Alice laid her han on his shoulder to help him focus so he could calm us. I felt the artificial calm and tried to succumb to it, though I knew I would've killed their 'parents' if they weren't already dead.

Gradually the atmosphere in the room calmed. I kissed the forehead of Naomi then Nate and my family followed suit. They were placed together in one of the cribs and they immediately rolled over and tangled themselves together. They simultaneously put their thumbs in their mouths and their colourful dreams continued. My family slowly left and resumed their previous activities but their thoughts remained with the sleeping babies. Jasper and I were left alone watching the twins breathe steadily. I couldn't focus on anything other than them though so I decided to stay and watch over them.

Edward, Alice thought, Edward they're fine. I don't see any more nightmares tonight. You can leave them.

Alice was never wrong. Although I knew this I couldn't bear to leave and so I settled myself down for a long night.

Alice's POV

Edward, Alice thought, Edward they're fine. I don't see any more nightmares tonight. You can leave them.

I sighed and relaxed back into the soft cushions of the sofa. We all loved the twins but Edward and Jasper seemed to be drawn to them. The twins were taken by them instantly and as much as I loved that Jasper trusted his self-control enough to be around them I wished he wouldn't. I had never really thought about my immortality before. It was just the way it was; I was a vampire and I couldn't change it. We all knew it was Rose that wanted children more than anything and it was Emmett who wished he could give them to her. But when I saw Jasper interacting with that precious baby girl I wanted to give that to him. I wanted to be able to carry his child and give him a baby boy or girl. Maybe one of each. As I made my decision the future changed and of course I saw it. The future I saw both excited and frightened me. Jasper and I would have a family and so would Rose and Emmett. I felt venom sting my eyes and a lone tear fell. I would not let anyone else's decision change my future.

A/N; I have a few ideas but I genuinely have no idea where this story will go. I know that this chapter was basically Edward but I feel like he is a great POV to write from considering he can read everyone's minds. Any ideas or questions are welcome in the review section! And I've decided as college starts again tomorrow (I'm a Brit) I'll try and update at least once a fortnight! I've started the 3rd chapter and I'm sorry that this one isn't very long but I have an essay to write for tomorrow! Thanks for reading :)
